A super interesting talk by @denniss_emily at #ISBNPA2023 confirms a hypothesis that many of us have probably believed to be true: the least accurate and lowest quality nutrition information in Instagram is about supplements & lower quality information receives higher engagement.

Dr Sally Mackay, Health Coalition Aotearoa Food Policy Expert Panel co-chair says one of the main issues with classifying ultra-processed foods is that the degree of processing isn’t always a direct link with nutrition.

@ProfCCollins gracefully myth busting!! 🍷 our highest level of evidence tells us that alcohol at any level is not recommended for overall disease risk, especially cancers, regardless of its flavonoid and phenol content that *may* reduce CVD risk.

Okay… I had managed to avoid #COVID infection in the past 2 yrs. BUT, it took only 2 days travelling to Europe to get it. I was pretty sick for 4 days. Did it happen when I dropped the mask at destination because it is not mandatory anymore? Stick to wearing a #mask my friends!

For human health?
For planetary health?
For animal welfare?
Food is all trade-offs, all the time. Might be good for you, bad for the planet. Or good for the planet, bad for the animal.
Here are 8 trade-offs in a handy dandy 🧵
